Rose pour le Garcon, beautiful graphic babygro’s and T-shirts from France.

Posted on November 26, 2012 by smudgetikka

I don’t often feature T-shirts and babygro’s but I think its because there are so many other gorgeous clothes out there for kids and babies that a T-shirt seems rather dull.

However I do love the graphics on these T’s and sleepsuits for little ones by Rose Pour Les Garcon from France, they are an ongoing unseasonal collection and the colours and designs are just delightful.

The collection is meant just for boys, hence in translation its ‘Pink for the Boys’ but I am sure some mums with girls will love them too, this is a very small company using organic cottons wherever possible and I hope they have the chance to grow as they are showing real potential.

Miou, soft alpaca baby and kids handmade knitwear with a retro feel from BC, Canada

Posted on November 16, 2012 by smudgetikka

Its the time of year to layer up in knits and for soft alpaca knitwear there is a small label from Canada called Miou that has some cute lace work and textured knitwear, hats and legwarmers for young babies and toddlers children.

It is an online operation that is slowly beginning to wholesale and was started by Christine Dubin, a French born designer who now lives in the sweet oceanfront town of Gibsons in BC, Canada. She aims for a vintage style in cool clourways and the knitwear is made in Peru for a Fair Trade wage where Miou also donates 5% of their profits towards the education of the knitters children.

The adorable photographs by Lee Clower are from their first ever photoshoot in Gibsons and there is a sweet section on the website showing backstage scenes of some of the other kids with their parents here.

My Little Square, great kids fashion lookbook for winter 2012 showing children’s fashion trends.

Posted on October 17, 2012 by smudgetikka

I just had to share this great little lookbook from the online designer kids fashion store My Little Square from France.

Set up by two creative mums to offer a site dedicated to children’s fashion designers, and in their words “wonders and treasures” the offering is tasteful and eclectic.

Shot by Melanie Rodriguez and styled by Deborah Sfez, a duo who have set themselves up as a creative production team for kids fashion brands in Paris this is a strong offering for the My Little Square store showcasing some really cool kids fashion brands.

Have a look at the lookbook online for the cute illustrations by Julie Joaris too.

Loving this Benetton Kids Fall 2012 fashion campaign with Crufts show theme!

Posted on October 9, 2012 by smudgetikka

Of course there are some cute clothes here too but the stars of the Benetton Fall / Winter 2012 campaign have to be the dogs shot in a Crufts show set up. Some of these shots with monster size dogs are amazing, they must all be so well trained.

Boss kids fashion campaign winter 2012 by Dani Brubaker, great use of a Mid-Century classic home

Posted on October 8, 2012 by smudgetikka

Love the overlay on these Boss kids shots by US kids fashion photographer Dani Brubaker taken in a Parisian Mid-Century classic location house. Its an interesting use of the original architectural concept of the era of bringing the outside inside.

It’s also a great idea to have a strong location when the clothes you are photographing while great quality tend towards the classic style, even for children’s fashion.
